I’m not overly surprised that this was possible considering the changes to vital statistics that were cited in the article. What I find interesting is how she got her hands on the data. Frankly, with sufficient sample from Apple Watch owners and a tagging of who tested positive for C19 and a date, I’m quite certain a pretty decent model could be developed to be useful enough that it would tip people off to go get checked. That is, based on the model and knowing that there’s likely a decently high error rate, set the threshold such that the Siri pings you and says, “you really should go get a Covid test...”.

Honestly, I’d love to get my hands on that data to play with it...

So, if one-third of COVID-positive athletes have myocarditis and it is the third-leading cause of sudden death in young people, why aren't we hearing about athletes dropping dead from this? Could it be because:
  1. Very few young athletes are even getting COVID, or
  2. Even though myocarditis is third leading cause of sudden deaths in young people, the percentage of young people dying from this is still extremely low, or
  3. Combination of bullets 1 and 2
How many times have you heard of a young athlete just keeling over a dying, e.g., "sudden" death?

Just sayin': Yesterday was my (and my wife's) anniversary so we ate out at The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate. I can relate to this:

Most athletes who die from heart-related issues are from cardiomyopathy or congenital defects (like Reggie Lewis and Pete Maravich, respectively). The last number I saw about myocarditis was about 5% of the cases of athletes dying young of heart-related issues.
